Husqvarna AWD Mower was only Front Wheel Drive

Alright, Alright After mowing with the Husqvarna AWD mower, I discovered that it was not All Wheel Drive and only the front wheels were propelling the mower. I decided to troubleshoot the AWD and find out what was wrong with the rear drive.

I had a Toro Personal Pace mower given to me by a guy who was throwing it out because the rear wheel drive (didn't have AWD), had stopped working. Same thing as yours, the gears were worn down; replaced those and it worked fine. Good video!!

[@granturismo315]

I got one of these similar to this, same brand same features awd Self propelled mower the design might be a little different but it’s worked very well for me no issues after almost 3 years cutting And acre and a half back yard

[@butler386]

Hmm excellent fix. Never knew they had an all wheel drive mower like that. Great diagnosis and you will get it fixed in due time. Thanks for the video.

[@deancurry8841]

Huge help, thank you!

[@georgehimon1445]

Good video for trouble shooting ,gears and a belt replacement . You did a great job explaining that.👍I seen this in the past , I've put them gears on wrong and it still didn't work a friend request that those gears won't work if they are not on correct.and fixed it, that's on a Honda mower ,some mowers with different brands share the same parts.

[@bigsonslawncare]

Could the gears be turned around so the worn part is on opposite end?

[@julioalfaro4898]

Thank you so much it helps all lot.

[@SmallEngineDIY]

I'm glad it helped you!

[@garystephen3611]

If you check, you will see that your axle bearings on the rear axle are shot so they can't hold the pinion to spur gear on the wheel tight enough to mesh correctly. This caused accelerated wear until they started stripping out. Order Husqvarna-587070202 or the cheaper after-market ones to replace the old bearings. If you don't, fix the slop in your axle bearings it will just end up stripping out the new pinions again due to poor pinion gear mesh.

Looks like that cable adjuster is just a fancy turnbuckle. 😮

[@weskarcher483]

These husqvarnas have a plastic inner gear track that the wheels ride on. Usually this is the failure point. It's designed to wear out alongside the treadlife. You can get another 6 months out of those wheels by removing the inner metal race, cut back the plastic so that it rides on the intact part of the wheel(s) track. Order a new set of wheels to replace once your metal gears wear out the remaining 1/4 inch that was left on the inner wheels...

Good tip 😊

[@jerrysoutherland662]

I had a customer bring me a mower just like yours,had to replace the plastic pulleys an d the bracket and belt.

[@tonypagan8852]

So when you spin the axle the wheels should move also?

[@michaelfield9467]

You may want to replace the wheal bushings at the same time looks like they may ware out just as fast as the gears I like them front wheel drive better also because you can slip them wen you make square corners I think you will be chasing that problem for a long time thank you for the video good luck

[@shawnpowell4951]

Thank you well done

[@SmallEngineDIY]

No problem 👍

[@philliphall5198]

The rear gear assembly is like a gold mine price 😢😢😢

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

I have one of these with the whole back end out. I have to piece together videos to get it back together

[@alyonapetrova694]

Is there a way to disengage the AWD gears on both axles and have the mower work like an old fashion “push” mower? Before I junk it, I’d thought I’d give it a try. I’ll never purchase another Husqvarna! Every year cost me $150 to repair.

[@SmallEngineDIY]

You can take the gears off of each wheel. Take the wheel of and remove the small gear.

[@alyonapetrova694]

@@SmallEngineDIY Really? Thank you! I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

[@eagleworks4u]

I have this same mower i found in bulk pickup. The previous owner tried to put a gator blade upside down and stripped the bolt. Can you provide me with the dimensions specs for the correct size as I believe its too small Thank You

[@zombiemurder95]

Do you have a video on how to replace just the axle where the wheel slides into? I snapped the bolt trying to loosen it, but it was too rusted out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[@josephguerra979]

How can I get a hold of you ,I have a craftsman lawn mower that need some work . Am in Dallas but would drive to where you are at just to get it fixed .

[@edsdoc1]

when you replaced the front gear you flipped it over and put the worm edge against the carriage I think thats why you didnt loose the drive in left front wheel

[@paulmonk7820]

Can the rear wheel drive gears ⚙️ be turned over to get a better grip? If you flip them, it will be driving from the opposite side of the teeth, where there will be more bite. 😮 7:32

[@williamwhitehead8362]

I bet you could use new bearings to because they were out and then it gets further away from the gear which lets it slip by the and make the gear worn more or buy four new bearings

[@billkrause4585]

I've heard, if you run a mower without it's cutting blade, you stand the chance the motor reversing it's direction and majorly damage the motor.

[@tonymayhew191]

Well! You know what they say about if don't you? If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle! 🤣

[@billbright1755]

They make that stuff to wear out quickly so most people just go buy a new mower. Rear drive only is plenty good enough for me.

[@billkrause4585]

Just flip the gears.

[@andyhamilton8940]

Not possible due to the cuts in the inside of gear for the ratcheting mechanism. Each side is different.
